Located in the heart of Kilkenny city, Smithwick's Experience Kilkenny is a multi sensory experience that immerses you in the history of Ireland's oldest ale. Get a flavour for how our famous ale has been crafted over generations and finish with a cool refreshing pint in the comfort of our Smithwicks Experience Bar. Audio guides also available in French, German, Spanish and Italian. Come to Kilkenny and discover the craft.

Our tour guide was excellent, very informative and obviously loves her job. The experience itself is very well done and informative. Obviously a lot of work has gone in to it! It makes you appreciate the beer!

I wasn't expecting much out of this tour, as I had never heard of Smithwick's before going to Ireland, but I was blown away. It was the best brewery tour I've taken and was far more interesting than the Jameson or Guinness tours. The interactive experience was really neat, and you learn a lot about the history of Smithwick's and...

An unexpected beautiful brewery. Our quirky tour guide was really knowledgable and was very informative. I enjoyed this tour more than Guinness for the local feel. It was an interactive experience with a delicious flight tasting at the end. The original beer is the best one!

The wife suggested the walking experience and off we went. The tour is 13 euro and there is a discount for students. Simon was our tour guide. He was excellent.

We have been to many beer tours, but this didn't really seem like one. I guess we should have taken the hint from the title of "experience ". You do not really see the beer being made, just watch short videos of how it is made the the history of the brewery. The guide was very knowledgeable and the beer...

Absolutely brilliant experience. The tour guide was a lovely girl who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Tells a lot about the local history and is not afraid to mention Ireland's history as part of the tour.

It all started with monks. There is a ton of history in these walls. The tour guide had a wealth of knowledge that he was eager to share with us. The tour itself was great. If you find yourself in Kilkenny, it's a must see. And it won't take you the whole day.
